@ilna, cups runs as root now, so no need to make the printer owned by lp group, I guess.

For me, it kind of works but not quite: the printer it is not detected.
If I replace /etc/cups/printers.conf with the old one (where I had the printer configured) and restart cups, then it appears in the list of printers, I can modify it, save default options, etc.

I did not try to print.

You might want to try my /etc/cups/printers.conf, adjust it to your needs.

For people thinking this bug is fixed: remove the printer and try to detect it again. It is not detected here.

root@shuttle:/etc/cups# cat /etc/cups/printers.conf
